My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 289 Selling Food

Lu Yaoyao was eating walnuts, her mind completely focused on them, and she didn't notice the quiet court.

Then she started thinking about something else.

However, I can't just give away this food for free, otherwise it will encourage people to get something for nothing.

Lu Xiao also felt that he couldn't just give it away for nothing. Although his daughter was somewhat unusual, she was still just a child, and he couldn't control her too much.

These are things that are for adults to deal with.

"Father, please allow me to go and provide disaster relief!"

He couldn't let his daughter worry about these things.

He could easily buy large quantities of grain here and use it for disaster relief there.

The emperor, unwilling to let his granddaughter suffer, granted his request.

"Your Majesty, this old minister is willing to donate ten thousand taels to buy grain."

General Sui Yuanba stepped forward.

His grandson was seriously ill a few days ago and almost died, but the little princess saved his life with medicine. Now that he heard the little princess's voice, he wanted to do what he could.

The little princess is absolutely right. The food she has belongs to her, and they cannot expect to get it without working for it.

Moreover, the little princess is only two years old. They rely on one child for everything. Are they even human?

"Your Majesty, I am also willing to donate ten thousand taels."

"Your subject is willing to donate 20,000 taels."

"Your Majesty, my family does not have much silver, but I am willing to donate five thousand taels."

"minister·······"

Everyone in the court was willing to donate, with the smallest donation being three thousand taels.

The emperor was pleased to see his ministers united in purpose. He waved his hand and said, "Since you have all donated, I cannot be stingy. I will donate 100,000 taels from my private treasury to buy grain."

The emperor looked at his little granddaughter cracking walnuts. He thought to himself, "Thanks to her, how could the court be so harmonious without her?"
These people are all kind-hearted! Since you've all donated to disaster relief, I won't say anything bad about your family.

It's said that water that's too clear has no fish, and the same applies to the imperial court. It's fine if you occasionally embezzle a little money.

Upon hearing Lu Yaoyao's words, the ministers' hearts skipped a beat.

Little princess, please don't speak ill of them. They don't want to be slaughtered like the others before them!

The emperor looked at the minister whose expression had changed, and his feelings were indescribably complicated.

"Hahaha! Court adjourned!" The emperor picked up the little girl and left.

His granddaughter's words were more intimidating; look how frightened those old ministers were.

When they arrived at the Imperial Study, only a few of them remained.

"Xiao'er, I'm entrusting this disaster relief mission to you," the Emperor said solemnly.

Lu Xiao nodded, "Father, rest assured, I will definitely handle the disaster relief work well."

With this money, we can buy a lot of food, which should alleviate some of the disaster situation.

It is this three-year drought that has made life unbearable for the people of this land.

Food supplies are running low, and if it doesn't rain soon, people all over the country will go hungry.

【I want to go too! I have food! Give me money, and I'll give you food.】

Let me see how much grain we have left? Hmm? Enough to feed all the people of the Great Yu Dynasty for several hundred years without any problem!

The problem is, I need the money to get it out.

Her space was practically a grain-producing wonder; the grain it produced in one day was enough to feed all the people of the Great Yu Dynasty for a month.

Unfortunately, I don't have the money to give her, so I won't take it out.

It wasn't that she was heartless and refused to help; it was just that after her rebirth, the land in this space expanded more than ten times, and most of the gold stored there had been eaten up by that land.

The soil in those lands that have been fertilized with gold is still the same soil, except that it is mixed with some gold, making it shiny and beautiful.

The grains produced have golden veins on them, making them look beautiful and taste delicious.

She eventually learned that the golden substance was divine power that had been incorporated into the food.

It is hundreds or thousands of times better than grains grown only in soil with a magical soil. This kind of land also produces more grain, more than ten times that of ordinary soil with a magical soil.

This grain is good, but it also has a drawback: it requires gold to maintain the land.

This is simply a money-devouring beast!
It pains me to think that she has lost all her gold. If I ask her to give me food, I have to exchange it for gold!

hiss!
The emperor and Lu Xiao exchanged a glance. Was this enough to feed the entire population of the Great Yu Dynasty for hundreds of years?
How much grain would that require?

Judging from the little girl's words, she could give them the grain she had, but it would cost gold to buy it.

buy!
I'll definitely buy it!

As long as there is food, the people of the Great Yu Dynasty are not afraid of not surviving this year of severe drought.

"Yaoyao, Grandpa Emperor needs to buy grain with gold. Why don't you go back with your father first?" This was the only way the Emperor could coax her.

This little girl has always liked gold; it's probably because she needs gold to exchange for anything she takes out.

Since buying food costs money, it's better to give the money to your granddaughter.

When it comes to buying grain, it's better to buy his granddaughter's than anyone else's.

"purchase·····"

[Grandpa Emperor wants to buy grain? Just buy mine! I have plenty!]

How can we secretly take the grain out?

Lu Yaoyao's big eyes darted around.

Should she find an excuse to release the grain first, and then pretend that her father went to buy it?
Upon hearing this, the emperor realized that his granddaughter was willing to sell grain.

"Alright! We'll buy it." The emperor smiled.

With the food supply secured, the next step is the peace talks with the northern kingdom.

Lu Xiao carried Lu Yaoyao back to the Prince's Mansion.

Lu Yaoyao hugged Lu Xiao's leg, "Dad! We have food."

Anyway, her father and mother already knew about her spatial ability. They told her father to give her gold in exchange for food.

They also bought some food from outside and transported it to the disaster area, which was also a way to cover their tracks.

"Do you really have it?" Lu Xiao asked knowingly.

He sometimes finds it fun to act alongside his daughter.

The little girl nodded, her two little tufts of hair swaying as she did so.

With a wave of her hand, Lu Yaoyao conjured a bowl of grain on the table. The white, luminous rice grains were adorned with fine golden veins.

The fragrance of rice permeated the room, and just smelling it was enough to make one feel relaxed and happy.

"Here you go." Lu Yaoyao pushed the rice in front of Lu Xiao.

[This is rice from my spatial storage. The golden patterns inside contain spiritual energy; it originally possessed divine power, but my spatial storage drained it away.]

[Rice containing divine power will not prolong life for mortals; instead, it will cause them to explode from the overwhelming power. Rice stripped of its divine power contains only gentle spiritual energy, which will prolong life and cure all diseases for mortals.]

Lu Xiao didn't look at the rice, but instead hugged the little girl tightly, "My good daughter, don't leave your father, okay?"

Now he was finally certain that his daughter was a deity; otherwise, why would she talk about divine power and spiritual energy?

Lu Yaoyao blinked. Had her father taken the wrong medicine today?

What nonsense are you spouting?

“Pfft... let’s go.” Lu Yaoyao patted his big head.

Why would I leave? It's not the right time yet. I'm going to live with my parents for the rest of my life before I go back!

The tail of rebirth can only be fully obtained by living out the rest of one's life here.

She won't give up halfway.

After hearing her promise, Lu Xiao slowly released the little dumpling from his arms.

Regardless of his daughter's past identity—whether she was human, demon, or deity—this little girl is now simply his daughter!
